Workers’ Compensation Injury
This is Dr. Lyle Van Hemert of Align Chiropractic in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. This video deals with one of the most misunderstood issues in health care today, workers’ compensation injuries.
The Choice is Yours for Work Injury Care
When you work for somebody you are used to being told what to do on the job and how to do it. Most people think that when you get injured on the job you have to follow your employer’s direction on where to go for care. The truth is in South Dakota, you the employee, get to choose where you go for care.
Section 64 – 4– 43 of the South Dakota Workers’ Compensation Manual states,” Selection of medical practitioner or surgeon by employee. The employee may make the initial selection of his medical practitioner or surgeon from among all licensed medical practitioners or surgeons in the state.”
If you’re injured on the job remember you get to go to the doctor of your choice, including chiropractic care.
Most Common On The Job Injuries
Most work comp injuries are injuries that involve accidents and overuse. Chiropractic care gets to the cause of your condition by repositioning and realigning the structures that have been injured at work.
So if you had a mechanical injury you need gentle mechanical care to fix it which is what chiropractic care does with gentle adjustments and therapies.
Effectiveness of Chiropractic Care in Treating Workers’ Injuries
Since most work comp injuries are due to accident and overuse the vast majority of studies following workers’ compensation injury treatment as shown that chiropractic care is one of the most effective treatments you can have.
If you’ve been injured at work I would encourage you to seek out chiropractic care for your Worker’s Compensation injury.
